Windows 10: START BUTTON IS NOT WORKING.

Hi I am not able to access the start button like when I am clicking on it, nothing pops up and even the other icons in the taskbar are not responding like the microsoft store and the place where you can see your audio and battery settings. It is windows 11 home single language. I am also not able to access the apps in the start menu and there is no other way i can access them but click on the start but if there is any other way please let me know and how to fix it. PLEASE IT IS SO IMPORTANT FOR ME. I AM A STUDENT AND TEAMS AND IT IS ALSO NOT WORKING. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Start Button displaying but not working


The start button was working until there was a forced reboot (power failure). Then left click (normal click) over the start button does absolutely nothing. Right click brings up a menu but "programs" and also "settings" are missing and not included on this list. Search or Task View buttons do not work either with "normal" click. Does anyone have any suggestion or fixes?
Thank you in advance *Huh

Start Button Not Working?


What steps should be taken to diagnose a Windows 10 start button not working?

 

Start Button Stopped Working

Yesterday the start button stopped responding. Cortana works okay and right clicking the start button opens a long list beginning with Programs and Features through Desktop. I restored from a point yesterday before experiencing the problem. Did not help.
Any suggestions?
